What would this poll look like today?

Why the future of Minneapolis parking garages may not include parking - MinnPost The city's new codes for building parking ramps reflect a growing dilemma for cities: How do they meet parking shortages at a time when trends suggest they’ll be reductions in future demand?

I'm not talking about the near future, I am talking about longer term. If you believe robo cars are the future, ownership would decline significantly

Designing parking ramps to allow for easy conversion to housing/commercial was a topic right here in Mpls in 2017

Would Waymos eventually remove the need for street parking and thus make more space for bikes and peds?

Not 100% covered, but getting close

A Somali Republican in Minnesota who backed Trump is disappointed by the president Salman Fiqy said Trump's comments will ruin Republicans' chances of winning Minnesota.

A Somali Republican who stood behind Donald Trump at a St. Cloud rally in 2024 told me he's disappointed by the president's comments, which are "subjecting the whole community to violence."

I bet it freezes tonight

Up until a few months ago the answer would have been The Long Walk by Stephen King (Richard Bachman).

It didn't turn out that great so I'd trust Hollywood and not ask for anything else.

Non-meddling owners is a feature, not a bug.

It's a weed dispensary

I would be curious what it means for homeowners, though. Here in Mpls, our tax bills are rising higher than the levy increase because of commercial base collapse.

In the exurbs, there's still expansion of the tax base going on. So a 10% levy increase might not be as bad as it would be here.

I didn't find anything in court documents, but I have a guess. Usually that type of renovation is split between the landlord and tenant, and I can't imagine the landlords or the bank were interested in pumping more money into the property.

According to the sale offering from August 2024, Landmark signed a lease that doesn't expire until Feb 2034.

So whoever buys the building inherits that lease.

A big risk indeed, since he personally guaranteed the loans.

Office leasing in Uptown had never been proven, so he needed a lot of stars to align. The stars did the opposite.

Troubled Uptown office complex headed to auction A bank alleges the owners of the MoZaic office and entertainment complex owe millions.

The MoZaic complex in Uptown was a $120M investment, but according to court documents, it couldn't even sell for the remaining loan balance of $55M

Anyone know what's going on with the old BP gas station at 60th and Penn?

I had been considering taking our three kids to the Della for spring break and I think you just talked me out of it

Don't think this stat is going to make it into the next Precarious State doc

I'm not sure who it would help or hurt in city elections, but I have a feeling Truth in Taxation notices in Mpls that come out later in November are going to be rough.

Downtown office values have fallen pretty severely again. More to shoulder for homeowners.

No fly zone: Airports ground Kristi Noem's government shutdown video Portland, Seattle and Las Vegas are among the airports refusing to show it.

MSP Airport says it's not playing the video of Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the shutdown while officials from the Metropolitan Airports Commission evaluate its legality.

I'm not sure who runs it, but it's this cage right here on 5th Street. I noticed it when biking to a Vikings game in Sept.

Thanks David!

I don't typically have issues finding a place to lock up, but it would be nice to have more of the secure bike storage area for public use like Metro Transit has in one of the ABC ramps and, I think, over by US Bank Stadium.

Why the Seven Steakhouse building is for sale a year after it last sold The buyers own a billboard company and wanted to lock in rare downtown advertising.

Why the investors who bought the old Seven Steakhouse building on Hennepin Ave a year ago have put it up for auction again.
